The visage Alucard obtained as he opened the door was that of four people, behind the four of them, two helicopters flew in the distance, and three convoys in black armoured vehicles awaited in the distance, each with at least five men with guns and weapons pointing his way...
The elderly man that just spoke, regarded Alucard's reaction and couldn't help but frown at the man's lack of reaction.
"Good Morning to you Lin Zhiguo. I knew you would come but I didn't think you would bring the whole party with you..." Alucard smirked and stood at the door with his arms closed as if it was his own house they just came to...
The man's eye flinched slightly together with that of the three people present.
"... So you know who I am... That makes things faster, I'd like to speak with you Mr Tepes, or should I call you Ares?"
"You can call me however you want."
"These are..."
"Abbess Yun Miao from the Lin Clan Shrine, Future heiress of the Cai Clan, Cai Ning. As for you..." As the gazes of everyone contorted as he so casually mentioned their identities, the last person looked at him with bewilderment.
"You're called Lin Hui aren't you?..." She was the only person whose memories he had that didn't come from the few flies he 'ate' that belonged to the Yellow Flame Brigade, Yong Ye was his name?
...
"You!" The fact that he knew the identity of the last person was something that put all of them in a state of alert!
The girl in question only looked at the man's eyes with interest, she hadn't seen many people, but she hadn't heard of a person with pink eyes ever... However, this man was very dangerous, or at least that's what she was told...
"I, what? Lin Zhiguo..." Alucard's wicked smile flashed in front of their eyes.
...
"Aren't you going to let us in?! Wait... This isn't even your house!" The older aged man, Lin Zhiguo, pointed his finger straight at Alucard's face and shouted with outrage.
Alucard smirked and walked inside the house, leading them to the main sofa where the four of them took a seat.
The moment they went in, the corps outside of the house agglomerated in the entrance, ready to barge in when the signal was deployed...
"Stand by for orders." Cai Ning said to her communicator, right now she was still wearing her tight suit and mask.
Wang Yulan who had been hiding in the kitchen came out suddenly when she heard the noises of a conversation, only to stand in her place the moment she saw the older man...
"Mr Lin, it's you..." She said politely, but her voice contained some imperceptible venom.
"Wang Yulan, it's been quite a long time... I hope you have been well. Where is Ruoxi?" Lin Zhiguo also answered politely, maintaining a clear distance between the two parties.
"She's currently tying herself up for work, if you want, I can call her."
"No need, I didn't come for her today." The man sighed and his gaze once again focused on Vlad Tepes... The latter was sitting in front of them with his legs crossed and sipping wine with all the carefree in the world.
Wang Yulan gave them a look before her gaze shifted to Alucard with concern... They actually came for him. Knowing he's a God and an Immortal her concern diminished a little, but still, what if those people are behind this? Even if he's a God, he's not infallible here in China...
Alucard looked back at her and nodded with a soft smile, indicating that everything was alright.
'There is no need to worry, everything is under control.' She heard that voice in her mind and was surprised for a bit.
'O-Okay.'
"If that's the case then I'll continue preparing breakfast." She went back to the Kitchen to finish the special dish she had been cooking.

The atmosphere became tense the moment Yulan left.
Abbess Yun Miao, an elderly woman in grey and red robes, around her early seventies, looked at Alucard with clear hostility.
Cai Ning's gaze was that of alert, she was awaiting any minimal moment to spring into action.
Lin Hui's countenance contained more curiosity and bewilderment than anything.
As for Lin Zhiguo... 'I will kill you' was everything his face said.
"Are you going to watch me all day or what? I don't have time to waste with you lot, state your purpose quickly..." Alucard said with irritation after a full minute of no talking...
His words further portrayed outrage in Yun Miao's gaze, "You! Who do you think you are!? WE came all the way here and you're this rude!"
"Who am I? I'm someone that can kill all of you and your boys out there in less than a second... Does that answer your question, Yun Miao?"
Shit went from 0 to 100 real quick as Yun Miao and Lin Zhiguo's aura roared at that moment.
Cai Ning's cultivation also soared as she took out her pistol and pointed it at his head!
Lin Hui frowned and her cultivation also soared.
However, all their pressures were like a bunch of flies crashing with a wall made of bricks, totally hopeless...
"You're insulting me by raising such pathetic cultivation, as I said before, stop wasting my time. What do you want?" Obviously, Alucard's response was to take another sip, whether they spoke or not, he was going to leave once Ruoxi came down.
"You-!" Abbess Yun Miao was about to attack when Lin Zhiguo's hand stopped her in her tracks!
"Zhiguo!" The elder threw the man a deadset gaze but flinched as she met the same gaze she sent.
"We are not his match... Even Lady Sanniang couldn't defeat him, what do you expect to accomplish here!?" His words made the four of them once again aware of their current circumstances.
Cai Ning put her gun back reluctantly and her blue eyes looked straight at him through the mask.
...
"Allow me to introduce myself properly even if you received one of my messages, my name is Lin Zhiguo, and I'm the chief of the Yellow Flame Iron Brigade. This is my wife, Abbess Yun Miao. Special Officer Cai Ning and my niece, Lin Hui." Lin Zhiguo decided to play it nice and introduced every single one of them in a proper manner.
Alucard nodded, "Vlad Tepes, Chairman of Hermes' Brewings International."
"And the God of War, Ares..." Lin Zhiguo added with furrowed brows.
"Apparently..."
"... We came today with the purpose of having a normal conversation and to know your intentions and to see if it was possible to have any kind of cooperation." Yun Miao added secondly.
"Also, to get any information you could provide us regarding the 'Shadow Hound', it is very important for us." Cai Ning added lastly with a frown.
Lin Hui only looked straight into Alucard's eyes...
"You can ask away, the moment Lin Ruoxi comes down is the time I will be leaving... So better ask quickly. As for cooperation... Unless you want to somehow cooperate with my Hermes' Brewings, then forget it." He said straight away and took another sip.
Yun Miao clenched her hands but still decided to calm herself, this man's attitude was simply ridiculous! 'Just because you're a God...'
"Then can you tell us what information you have regarding the Shadow Hound? Have you ever met her?" Cai Ning spoke first as she attentively awaited an answer as well as an argument that they could use to verify whether it was him or not...
Her words made all of them stare straight at him.
"I don't know her, but I fought her once in England, back when I became the new Ares, about a week ago."
!!!
"You fought her!? And survived? Tell us, what are her powers like? Can she be stopped!?" Cai Ning technically stood up as her big chest struggled to giggle inside her tight suit.
A staring opportunity the count would of course not lose.
After shamelessly taking a glance, he smiled and took another sip, "I fought her after obtaining Ares' powers but had to escape for my dear life... She was too strong. That's all I can say, as for her powers, I don't know them. She can teleport like me but her powers are way more efficient, and complicated. Apparently, her intention was to meet Ares but I beat her to it."
"Then how did you defeat Ares? We don't know much about Gods and Immortals, but Lady Sanniang said someone with your cultivation shouldn't be able to defeat a God..." This time, it was Zhiguo who asked.
Alucard smirked at his senses, "I will reserv-" he didn't manage to finish.
"Vlad, I'm ready! Sorry for taking so lo-" Right at that moment, the alluring voice of the CEO resounded calling for everyone's attention.
Lin Ruoxi, dressed in a beautiful sky-blue dress came downstairs with her gaze fixed on Alucard until she started at his front.
Her figure and beauty impacted everyone present, one could tell how much effort she put into tidying herself up…
'She's taking the war seriously!~' Alcina couldn't help but whistle from Alucard's shadow.
The CEO in all her glory.
